“ZocDoc came through with an opening in just 2 days for Dr. Belkin, who came highly recommended for shoulder pain/issues. Jessica from NYP phoned 5 minutes later advising that X-Rays were required and set up an appointment prior to seeing Dr. Belkin. Arriving at the office, Jessica welcomed and then, Bryce, Dr. Belkin's PA, warmly led me in with a smile. He was thorough as he documented my issue with great care taking as much time as needed. Dr. Belkin addressed my shoulder issue as she gently checked range of motion and pain threshold. She educated about the X-Ray pinpointing the issue, then advised on a course of action to be free of pain with a follow up. She was direct, reassuring, and listened fully, reassuring that all would be well. Bryce administered a cortisone injection in a calm, gentle manner and called in a prescription for an smooth and easy pick up. Thank you to Dr. Belkin and her amazing NYP Team. And thanks to ZocDoc (first time user) for making this happen.”

Verified patient
Seemed knowledgeable but very unfriendly but her assistant (David)was very unfriendly and cold. I could not wait to leave. This appointment was very uncomfortable and I left more upset then before I got there. Now I'll need to find a different provider. Extremely disappointed and I would not recommend this office.

Perfect
Verified patient
Dr, Belkin and her staff are friendly and knowledgeable, especially the NP we worked with, Angela. Angela was warm and a great listener. Dr Belkin has impressive training and a great deal of experience. During my appointment, she requested additional imaging in order to make an accurate diagnosis. The office staff had the imaging pre-authorized before I even left the office, and got me in for a CT scan that same afternoon. Dr Belkin reviewed the images and called me after her office hours to give us the news that I didn’t need surgery, which we were very grateful for. An admin called me the following morning to make sure I understood next steps and to schedule my follow up. Overall, this was a great experience and I’m so glad I saw Dr Belkin for a second opinion before potentially having unnecessary surgery that would have resulted in more pain and a longer recovery. I highly recommend Dr Belkin and her colleagues to anyone needing orthopedic care.
Excellent

I had a great experience with this office. i booked online with Zocdoc. The office called to confirm my appointment and were very pleasant. I met with both the PA and the Dr. Belkin. They took their time, explained everything and told me the plan. i would highly recommend them for your orthopedic care.
Verified patient
Excellent experience, the X-rays and visit were well coordinated, the office staff was efficient in processing the necessary paperwork and the medical exam was comprehensive, informative and addressed my issue.
Verified patient
Very well organized practice - medical history is collected by her physician assistant and he sets the stage for Dr. Belkin. That gives Dr. Belkin the opportunity be very efficient and quick without rushing you through the appointment.

Dr Belkin is the best doctor, and I have been seeing her for knee problems for several years now. . The treatments she has provided have kept me pain free. Her staff couldn’t be nicer and very efficient,
Verified patient
my experience was great, great, great
Verified patient
Could not recommend Dr. Belkin enough! Saw her for a second opinion after ongoing knee pain from another provider at a different practice failed to provide sufficient treatment/follow up. She was a fantastic listener, observer, and communicator of what she was checking, what her diagnosis was, and the overall treatment plan. Thorough appointment and wonderful teamwork with NP, beautifully clean location and wonderful office staff. Grateful to have found her!
Easy parking, ground level. Office staff attentive, competent, and engaged. Only thing that could be improved is the NY Presbyterian mandated method of obtaining patient history , which the patient self-enters on a tablet. The Questions are not open ended, some are poorly worded or do not apply, and therefore the patient must choose from a number of responses that did not allow for accurate and complete reporting of the condition for which the medical assistance was being sought. Simple pen and ink with room for narrative responses would have been better and faster. This was remedied in the examination room with the techs and with Dr. Belkin, who asked pertinent questions and actually listened. So far, highly recommend.
Verified patient
This was the second orthopedist I have seen in this office. First was Dr Trupia, a hand and elbow specialist. This visit was for my shoulder with Dr Belkin. Both are wonderful, thorough physicians who listen and discuss. Both made me feel very welcome and HEARD. Their staff is on top of everything as well. I highly recommend the practice.
Verified patient
Dr. Belkin & Dr. Amarosa are 2 of the best surgeons in the Hudson Valley, they are very professional! They listen and take every concern into consideration.
Courtesy and promptness w. seeing Dr. Belkin.
I love the staff at this office; they are polite, always answer phone in a courteous manner and always accommodating for appointments. Dr. Belkin is one of the best Orthopedics that I've been to and I look forward to her future treatment plans.
Dr. Belkin and the entire staff were absolutely amazing from day 1. I was referred to her from a general orthopedist and was immediately put at ease. Dr. Belkin was humble, attentive, and the most knowledgeable doctor I've ever had. Thank you!!
Dr Belkin and her team are great!
I was a surgical patient of dr Amarosa's, up until his departure in May. I appreciated being assigned to dr belkin for the continuity of care. she seemed to get ramped up quickly on the details of my case and treated me as if I were her patient from the beginning!
I had heard fabulous things about Dr. Belkin and staff and I agree. I felt she was extremely on target with her observations and diagnosis and conservative when it came to more testing before proven that is really needed.
no just that Dr Belken makes me feel like I can walk again and gives me encouragement and what I need ! I say she's a miracle worker ! love her
The doctor was pleasant, informative, and treated me like an adult. That is not always the case with "geriatric" patients. She did not make too much for my pain but was definitely concerned about it and took steps to prescribe medication and physical therapy immediately after a thorough investigation.
Dr. Belkin is prototypical physician in the best sense. Obviously knowledgeable, she listens, treats patients with respect and is very thorough in terms of explaining issues, options and solutions. I always leave Dr. Belkin's office with a positive feeling that my issues were treated correctly and that she has my health and well being foremost in her mind. Really terrific physician.
Dr. Belkins office was full of life! The energy was awesome! Dr. Belkin and all of her assistants were just great showing concern, comfort and understanding and also explaining everything. I loved the team work and cohesiveness her office displayed. Not to mention the many smiles given by Dr. Belkin and her entire staff.
I drove 4 hours each way to have surgery with Dr. Belkin and I would do it 100x over. Amazing doctor, amazing staff. I could not be happier!
Dr. Belkin is awesome!
dr Belkin is very attentive. feel understood
Dr. Belkin is a Wonderful Orthopedic Surgeon !!
For the past 20 years I've only known chronic , life altering pain. Going to Dr.Belkin was the best possible decision I've made as she was able to diagnose, and begin a treatment and surgical plan to fix my injury that was previously not surgically viable.
Dr. Belkin is an wonderful, knowledgeable physician, who listens to concerns and responds appropriately. Highly recommend her.
